The use of artistic and cultural examples greatly enhances foreign language learning on multiple levels. Furthermore, arts organizations can benefit from increased funding, positive community image and viability by incorporating foreign language into their educational outreach programming. The University of Akron, Emily Davis Gallery exhibition French Contemporary Art: The Work of Hervé Heuzé and related bilingual tour program tests this hypothesis. This paper describes the methodology for executing the bilingual exhibition and the findings of this central case study with support from the fields of arts administration and language acquisition. A small selection of other organizations' language-arts models is also presented. Through an examination of the reactions of attending French teachers, observations of the gallery staff, and a large amount of secondary research supporting these conclusions, it is evident that the arts and foreign language not only can, but also should be blended. As the U.S. faces an economy and cultural milieu in which arts stability and language learning struggle to flourish, this fusion of programming may be an important solution for the two arenas in the future. 2011-08-15 French and English text University of Akron / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=akron1311135640 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=akron1311135640 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
